4. ensure all information relevant to the decision- making is shared with the offender.

Detention Criteria Overview

11. All offenders will be reviewed, prior to statutory release (SR), to determine whether they meet the detention criteria as outlined in section 129 of the CCRA, which stipulates:

1. offender is serving a sentence of two years or more for a Schedule I offence, including an offence set out in Schedule I that is punishable under section 130 of the National Defence Act, and whether that offence caused death or serious harm to another person or involved a sexual offence involving a child (paragraph 129(2)(a) of the CCRA); and
2. offender is serving a sentence for a Schedule II offence (paragraph 129(2)(b) of the CCRA), including an offence set out in Schedule II that is punishable under section 130 of the National Defence Act.

Procedures

Direct Referral

12. The Parole Officer will refer the case directly to the Parole Board of Canada (PBC):

1. when one or more criteria identified in subsection 129(2) of the CCRA are met; and
2. more than six months before the offender's statutory release date (SRD).

Commissioner's Referral

13. The Parole Officer will prepare the case, as per Annex C. Regional Headquarters will forward the referral to National Headquarters for further review and final decision, and if appropriate, forward it to the Parole Board of Canada under subsection 129(3) of the CCRA, when:

1. not all the criteria identified in subsection 129(2) of the CCRA are met, but there are reasonable grounds to believe the offender is likely to commit an offence causing death or serious harm to another person, a sexual offence involving a child or a serious drug offence, and there are more than six months to his/her SRD;
2. six months or less remain to the SRD and new information is received (new in time or substance) within those six months; or
3. as a result of a change in the SRD due to a recalculation, the SRD has passed or six months or less remain before the new SRD (paragraph 129(3)(b) of the CCRA).

14. When the SRD has passed, the case will be immediately reviewed by the Parole Officer to assess whether a referral is required and, where applicable, the Commissioner will refer the case to the Chairperson of the PBC within two working days of the recalculation of the sentence.

Detention Pre-Screening Review

15. The Parole Officer will complete the Detention Pre-Screening for all offenders as per Annex B and Annex D, no later than 11 months prior to their SRD (or as soon as practicable), to determine whether there are reasonable grounds to believe the offender is likely to commit one of the following before sentence expiration:

1. an offence causing death or serious harm to another person;
2. a sexual offence involving a child; or
3. a serious drug offence.

16. Prior to finalizing the Detention Pre-Screening on cases that are being considered for detention, the institutional Parole Officer will consult with the parole office where the offender would be released. The consultation will be incorporated into the Detention Pre-Screening Report. In cases where the offender has not identified a release location, consultation will occur in the area where the offender was sentenced.

17. If, as a result of recalculation of sentence, the new SRD is greater than 11 months from the date the sentence is recalculated, the Parole Officer will complete a Detention Pre-Screening Report.

18. If the offender is on day parole 11 months prior to his/her SRD, there is no need to complete the Detention Pre-Screening Review.

Case Conference for Detention Review

19. The Manager, Assessment and Interventions/Manager, Intensive Intervention Strategy, and the Parole Officer Supervisor, will review the Detention Pre-Screening Report and document the results as per Annex C.

20. The Institutional Head/District Director will make the final decision on the referral.

New Information

21. If, at any time, new information is subsequently received that could alter the decision to either refer or not refer an offender for detention, the Parole Officer will reassess the case.

Case Preparation

22. If a referral to the PBC is warranted, the Parole Officer will ensure all required assessments are completed and incorporated into the analysis of the Assessment for Decision as per Annex E.

Direct Referral Procedures

23. The offender's case will be prepared for a direct referral as per Annex C.

24. The Manager, Assessment and Interventions/Manager, Intensive Intervention Strategy, and Parole Officer Supervisor will ensure the case is referred to the PBC regional office, normally nine months and prior to six months before the offender's SRD.

Commissioner's Referral Procedures

25. The case for a Commissioner's referral will be prepared for review by Regional Headquarters and National Headquarters, as per Annex C.

Consequence of a Referral

26. The Parole Officer will advise the offender that once the case has been referred to the PBC, he/she is not entitled to be released on SR prior to the PBC having rendered its decision (subsection 130(2) of the CCRA). The offender remains eligible for full parole, day parole, work release and temporary absences.

Withdrawal of a Referral

27. A case referred to the PBC may be withdrawn when:

1. new information indicates the referral criteria at the time the case was referred was not met; or
2. the SRD has changed.

28. For direct referrals:

1. if new information was received and:
   1. the Statutory Release date is within nine months, the operational unit that made the original referral will complete an Assessment for Decision Addendum outlining the reasons for the withdrawal and request a Community Strategy and Assessment for Decision for Statutory Release,
   2. there are more than nine months to SRD, the operational unit that made the original referral will provide an Assessment for Decision Addendum outlining the reasons for the withdrawal;
2. if the offender's SRD has changed and:
   1. the new Statutory Release date is within nine months, the operational unit that made the original referral will complete an Assessment for Decision Addendum outlining the reasons for the withdrawal and request a CS and Assessment for Decision for Statutory Release,
   2. there are more than nine months to the new SRD, the operational unit that made the original referral will provide an Assessment for Decision Addendum outlining the reasons for the withdrawal.

29. For Commissioner's referrals, a written request, made by either the Commissioner or the Senior Deputy Commissioner will be provided to the PBC, outlining the reasons for the requested withdrawal. A new Assessment for Decision will be submitted for Statutory Release.

Change in the Offender's Circumstances or Change in Recommendation

30. Changes in the offender's circumstances or a change in recommendation by the referral agent will be communicated to the PBC without delay.

31. The Parole Officer will submit a new Assessment for Decision outlining the reasons for the change in recommendation prior to the scheduled hearing. In exceptional circumstances, the change in recommendation can be given verbally at the detention hearing.

Consequences of a Detention Order

32. Once a detention order has been issued, the Parole Officer will advise the offender that:

1. he/she is only eligible for escorted temporary absences for medical or administrative reasons and for early discretionary release. Any outstanding applications for a form of conditional release are nullified; and
2. the detention order will be reviewed at least annually.

Annual Review of Detained Offenders

33. The institutional Parole Officer will complete the Assessment for Decision as per Annex G, no later than two months prior to the review, recommending:

1. confirmation of the order of detention;
2. the offender be released on one-chance SR with residency; or
3. the offender be released on one-chance SR.

34. The institutional Parole Officer will consider submitting a recommendation to remove the order prior to the annual detention review if there are demonstrated gains, and it is determined that alternative measures can effectively manage the offender's risk factors.

35. Where a condition of residency is recommended, the institutional Parole Officer will complete the Regional Consent - Statutory Release with Residency (CSC/SCC 1218) to be signed by the Assistant Deputy Commissioner, Institutional Operations (refer to Annex H).

Detained Offenders Who Receive an Additional Sentence Resulting in an Alteration to Their Warrant Expiry Date

36. If a detained offender receives an additional sentence that alters their warrant expiry date and the new SRD has passed or is within nine months, the Parole Officer will submit an Assessment for Decision as per Annex F to the PBC within five days to recommend that:

1. the original order be confirmed; or
2. the order be amended to prevent the release of the offender beyond the original warrant expiry date.

37. If a detained offender receives an additional sentence and there are more than nine months to the new SRD, the order is cancelled. A new referral for detention will be initiated as applicable.

Offenders Under Suspension

38. When an offender is suspended, the community Parole Officer will address the detention criteria within their Assessment for Decision.

39. When the offender does not meet the criteria for detention, a new Detention Pre-Screening is not required, regardless of the time remaining until his/her SRD.

40. If it is determined that the offender meets the detention criteria, the case will be referred once the PBC has revoked the offender's conditional release. A new Detention Pre-Screening Report will be required.

41. When six months or less remain before the new SRD, the community Parole Officer will prepare a Commissioner's referral following the procedures outlined in Annex C, unless otherwise agreed upon between the Institutional Head and the District Director.

42. If there are more than six months to the SRD, the institutional Parole Officer will prepare the referral following the procedures outlined in Annex C, unless otherwise agreed upon between the Institutional Head and the District Director.

Certifiable Offenders

43. The fact that an offender is certified, or potentially certifiable, as mentally ill under a provincial mental health act will not preclude a referral for detention review if it is believed on reasonable grounds that he/she is likely, before sentence expiry, to commit an offence causing death or serious harm to another person; a sexual offence involving a child; or a serious drug offence.

Federal Offenders in Provincial Custody Being Considered for Detention (Exchange of Service Agreement and/or Due to Court Orders)

44. When a federal offender is serving a sentence in a provincial facility and there are reasons to believe that a referral for detention under subsection 129(2) of the CCRA is warranted, the province will usually transfer the offender to a federal institution to initiate the detention referral process.

45. In exceptional circumstances, the province may keep the offender in provincial custody and submit the referral for detention as per the following:

1. the head of the provincial facility will notify the CSC Regional Headquarters of the potential referral and will transmit the supporting documentation;
2. Regional Headquarters will determine whether there is sufficient time to transfer the offender to federal custody prior to initiating a referral;
3. if there is insufficient time, the Regional Deputy Commissioner will immediately contact the Commissioner requesting that the powers of the Service under section 129 of the CCRA be delegated to the province [subsection 129(8)]; and
4. the Commissioner will delegate the authority for detention referral to the head of the provincial correctional facility concerned.

46. Depending on the length of time a federal offender has been in provincial custody due to court orders, the respective Institutional Head and District Director will determine the responsibility for case preparation for detention.

47. An offender may appeal the PBC decision for a detention order as per the criteria outlined in CD 712-3 - Parole Board of Canada Hearings.

Implementation of Decisions

48. Sentence Management will immediately implement the detention order upon receipt of the PBC decision.

Loss of Jurisdiction

49. Jurisdiction for a detention referral will be lost, resulting in an inability to refer an inmate for detention, if:

1. a referral is not submitted more than six months prior to the statutory release date unless it is a Commissioner's referral based on new information; or
2. a Commissioner's referral is not submitted within two working days if, as a result of recalculation of sentence, the statutory release date has passed; or
3. a referral to amend an existing detention order is not submitted when a sentence recalculation alters the warrant expiry date and the next statutory release date has passed or is within nine months; or
4. following the revocation of an offender's release when the new statutory release date is imminent, a referral for detention is not submitted before the end of the statutory release date.

50. If a loss of jurisdiction occurs, the Institutional Head will immediately advise the Assistant Deputy Commissioner, Institutional Operations. If in the community, the District Director will immediately advise the Regional Deputy Commissioner. The memorandum will include:

1. summary of the offender profile and criminal history;
2. events leading to the loss of jurisdiction;
3. the offender's current location and supervision status;
4. risk presented by the offender to the community and actions being taken to mitigate the risk; and
5. action being taken regarding policy compliance.

Indicate whether the case will be recommended for detention review, taking into consideration the criteria in section 132 of the CCRA.

Incorporate the results of the consultation with the community as applicable.

If the offender will not be referred, provide a brief rationale for why he/she does not meet the detention criteria.

If the offender is being referred, indicate the section of the CCRA under which the case is being considered and provide the rationale (succinct in nature) that supports the referral for detention.

Note: The specific factors under section 132 of the CCRA will be analyzed in detail in the Assessment for Decision.

Annex C: Referral Process for Detention

Annex D: Guidelines for Assessing the Likelihood of the Commission of an Offence Causing Death or Serious Harm to Another Person, a Sexual Offence Involving a Child, or a Schedule II Offence Prior to the Expiration of the Offender's Sentence

Section 132 of the CCRA lists the relevant factors to be taken into consideration when determining whether or not an offender is likely to commit an offence causing serious harm or death; a sexual offence involving a child; or a serious drug offence prior to warrant expiry.

In the case of Schedule I offences where it has not been established that the current offence caused serious harm, there is a particular burden of proof to show that a likelihood exists of a future offence causing death or serious harm. The primary factor identified as indicating future harm will be corroborated to the greatest extent possible by reference to the other factors outlined in section 132 of the CCRA. For example, where evidence is cited of a pattern of persistent violent behaviour, it will be supported by psychiatric and/or psychological information pointing to the likelihood that such violence will continue.

While it is impossible to predict future behaviour with certainty, the Parole Officer should be able to bring forward sufficient evidence to satisfy the test of "reasonable grounds to believe". For this reason, it is important to base the analysis of the case on a full range of information. This should include but not be limited to the following: the offender's previous criminal history, records of institutional behaviour, records of performance on previous releases, psychological and psychiatric evaluations conducted for release decision-making purposes, and the findings and recommendations of Community Assessments. This list is not exhaustive.

A documented analysis as to whether the offence is:

1. is set out in Schedule I [subpar. 129(2)(a)(i)]; or
2. is a sexual offence involving a child [subpar. 129(2)(a)(ii)]; or
3. is set out in Schedule II [par. 129(2)(b)],

will be explicitly set forth in every case that is submitted for decision with respect to a transfer, a conditional release of any type, including temporary absence or work release, or following a suspension.
